Ye Qiyi sensed Gu Yiming’s distraction. She leaned against him with her exquisite caked-up face and asked, “Why are you unhappy? Are you mad that I let Xiao Mu come along?”

She observed Gu Yiming’s expression. Then, after a pause. Her eyes shifted slightly and continued, “Women should still be the one giving advice to other women when it comes to choosing a wedding ring. After all, a woman understands a woman’s aesthetic sense. Furthermore, wedding rings are to be worn for a lifetime, so we shouldn’t be careless.”

“I don’t mind as long as you’re happy.” Gu Yiming faintly smiled at her, his tone became more formal.

But Ye Qiyi wasn’t aware of it as she turned her head back to speak to Ye Mu, “The rings in this shop are still pretty good. If you see something you like, you can get a 10 percent discount by quoting my name.”

Ye Mu ignored Ye Qiyi’s words. Her eyes drifted over the counters. Even though Ye Qiyi had spoken subtly, she still heard a few of her boasts laced within her words.

If Ye Shanhu didn’t monopolize what belonged to Ye Mu in the first place, what right would Ye Qiyi have to brag to her today?

“Do you have something you like?” Mo Shen watched Ye Mu’s gaze wandering across the store and he couldn’t help but ask.

Ye Mu shook her head, “Not yet.”

Mo Shen’s large hand laid on her shoulders, observing her eyes with his. While staring at her like this, his thin lips would lift subconsciously.

Ye Qiyi would pick out all the wedding rings that looked pleasing to try on.

Compared to her, Ye Mu was much more prudent. Her vivid pair of eyes kept looking but she could not make up her mind as to which ring she wanted.

Eventually, her eyes paused on a petal-shaped diamond ring. Placed in the center, this particular ring looked generous and elegant. It didn’t look as exorbitant in price as the others, but it did not lose its unique characteristics either.

Mo Shen followed her gaze, asking steadily, “You like this one?”

Ye Mu’s eyes couldn’t leave that ring as she nodded her head.

“Take this out and let my wife have a look,” Mo Shen tapped his finger on the counter and spoke to the saleslady.

The lady at the counter hurriedly retrieved the ring, beaming as she introduced, “The young lady has a pair of keen eyes. This ring is the latest work of a famous British designer. It is the gem of our shop.”

“The gem of the shop…” Ye Mu murmured to herself, not daring to take it for herself now. If this was indeed the gem of the shop, then how expensive would it be?

Mo Shen’s expression looked calm and watched the lady at the counter take the two rings out.

The man’s version was much simpler than that of the woman’s. It didn’t have a complex shape like the woman’s version, but rows of tiny diamonds were embedded along the ring.

“I’ll put it on for you.”

Mo Shen picked up one of the rings and slipped it towards Ye Mu’s ring finger on her right hand.

Looking at that ring, Ye Mu suddenly pulled her finger back. Full of worry in her tender eyes, she did not allow him to make her wear the ring as she said, “Let’s not take this after all. It must be very expensive.”

Mo Shen let out a light chuckle, his slender fingers straightened hers as he slowly placed the delicate ring on her ring finger.

Her hand was fair and slim, so that flower-shaped ring looked exceptionally beautiful on her finger joint. Mo Shen took the male version of the ring in the box, and also placed it on his ring finger.

Finally, with a style that matched each other’s, and the way they stood side by side. The two looked and felt like genuine lovers.

Mo Shen seemed to be satisfied with this model of wedding rings too. He raised his hand nonchalantly at the store assistant and said, “This is it.”

This was a huge order!

The saleslady’s eyes lit up as she hastily nodded her head and disappeared to call for the manager’s presence.

Ye Qiyi still hadn’t chosen a ring, her eyes drifting between the two rings in the case, hard-pressed to choose one.

The store manager came out, after having been briefed by the saleslady. He was polite in his approach, “Will mister pay by card or cash?”

“Card,” Mo Shen handed his card over.

The store manager had only glanced at the card in Mo Shen’s hand when he froze. Stunned, he spoke hurriedly, “Mo…”

Mo Shen’s profound eyes glanced towards the store manager and the latter understood his intention immediately. He closed his mouth and kept on nodding his head. His bright, shining eyes settled on Mo Shen, and couldn’t look away.

In this whole city, only one person could possibly own this card.

“Xiao Mu, come over and help me take a look. Which of these two designs is better?” Ye Qiyi turned around and looked towards Ye Mu with slight embarrassment on her face.

Ye Mu glanced at Ye Qiyi. She stood at where she was and didn’t plan on going over, “Sorry, I can’t give my opinion on this matter.”

Ye Qiyi was suddenly put on the spot, so she pointed her finger to one of the rings in passing, “In that case, this ring shall be it then.”

While footing the bill for the ring she had chosen, Ye Qiyi subconsciously glanced towards Ye Mu’s hand. Upon seeing her ring, she was slightly taken aback. That ring design—though it didn’t look as expensive and complicated as hers—it was evident that they had chosen to use the best quality so the price would definitely be much more extravagant than her ring.

Her eyes withdrew from the ring, carrying a slight smile, she was sure that Mo Shen couldn’t afford it and hurriedly told Ye Mu, “Later, when you are paying, you should quote my name to get a 10 percent discount.”

Ye Mu raised her hand while looking at Ye Qiyi, but before she could say anything, Mo Shen lightly patted Ye Mu’s shoulders a few times, and smiled cordially at Ye Qiyi, “No need. If Miss Ye needs a discount, you can quote my wife’s name and get 50 percent off.”

“Isn’t that right?” Mo Shen said as he cast his sight onto the store manager.

The store manager was jolted awake from his trance as he rapidly nodded his head in agreement, “Yes, yes, yes… 50 percent off by quoting Mrs Mo’s name.”

Ye Qiyi frowned without concealing her emotions. Mrs Mo? In the entire city, who could be so wealthy with the surname Mo?

As Ye Qiyi was in deep thoughts, Mo Shen had already swiped his card and paid for the rings.

“We’re leaving first,” he stated politely.

When his words fell, he walked out of the door with Ye Mu.

“Mo?” Gu Yiming who had been quiet all this while furrowed his eyebrows and repeated the word to himself.

“To think that Xiao Mu’s still so capable that she would be able to hook up with a wealthy man right after graduation.” Ye Qiyi’s smile was gentle, but her words were laced with sarcasm.

Gu Yiming heard Ye Qiyi’s words and he was displeased, “No matter what, she’s still your cousin. How can you talk like that about her?”

Ye Qiyi was stunned. Gu Yiming had never spoken to her in this manner before. She was just about to open her mouth to argue but she suppressed it and stated with a faint smile, “I was simply lamenting. There’s no other meaning to it.”

Ye Mu followed Mo Shen out of the jewelry shop and she was still in a daze. Her mind was filled with the amount of money that had been swiped from the card—she saw that frightening sum.

She had never expected that two rings could cost an eight-figure sum. Standing at the entrance of the jewelry shop, she carefully inspected Mo Shen from head to toe. Suddenly, she felt as though she had married a very handsome nouveau riche!

Furthermore, he was an ‘ultra’ nouveau riche!

The assistant drove over the car that had been sent for servicing. Mo Shen opened the car door, watching Ye Mu who was still in a trance. Raising his eyebrows, he asked, “Not planning to go back? Would you like to continue shopping?”

“There’s no need.” Ye Mu shook her head in a hurry. Only about half an hour had passed since they decided to go shopping, yet they had already spent such a terrifying amount. If they strolled around once more, she was afraid that something scarier would happen.

Seated in the car, Ye Mu was unexpectedly a little anxious. She bit her lips, gathered up her courage, and looked at Mo Shen, “Young Uncle, are you very rich now?”
